Book Description

PI Albert Samson takes on a new and deceptively dangerous case in the dead of an Indianapolis winter

After a Florida vacation spent at the horse races—turning a measly profit of eighty-two cents before expenses—private detective Albert Samson is back in slushy, freezing Indy, where, thankfully, it’s a short walk from his living room to his office door. On this night, he opens it to find a hesitant stranger in an overcoat standing there. With some prodding from the PI, Bennett Willson admits he wants Samson to strong-arm the Broadway producer who stole his play.

It turns out that the cleverly crafted story is as bogus as the client himself. Samson blows the lid off a simmering brew of hatred and revenge—leaving his own life hanging in the balance.
